JavaScript cannot access the local file system (except in lower security settings/privileges enabled/changed user settings), so the only way (in a normal internet application) is to upload the image and then show the preview from the server-side.

oh ok..Do you have any example of this which i can refer to....

You could use an Ajax file upload (example) and then display the uploaded file. If not all previewed files are uploaded, you may want to upload them to a temporary directory which is periodically emptied. You may also want to ask yourself if having an image upload preview is essential.

Hey my earlier forms did not have any preview feature users were directly uploading their picture (I had a disclaimer saying that there is no preview option so choose picture properly) .I that of creating a preview function which i can use for later use.Hey what is the standard followed everywhere .As per i have seen preview of picture is shown when i select my picture ...

You could leave it up to the user. Keep the feature in case users use browsers which allow it or change their settings to allow it.

If you want all users to have this preview feature, another alternative is to post to a new window and display the uploaded file, but then you'd have the problem of pop-up windows.
